to annotate and edit the photographs that they took on the iPads on our community walk around Van Meter and within the school. Once the photographs were Skitched, they saved them into their very own Evernote accounts.

For this project, we purchased several wonderful community themed eBooks to add to our growing collection within Mackin VIA. The students loved reading the eBooks within the classroom, library, computer lab and at home.

After they read several of the eBooks, the students used Skitch to annotate a few of their favorite pages.

The last few days of school, we took several of the saved pages within the student Evernote accounts and put them together into a FlipSnack flippable eBook. Once the pages from Evernote were saved onto the laptops, we then saved them as PDF's to upload into FlipSnack. All of the students logged into my FlipSnack account to upload their pages into the class eBook.

I love how Evernote even gave the students the information about the specific eBook within Mackin VIA that they Skitched on. This is what we used when we put our FlipSnack eBook together. We took small screen shots and turned them into PDF's to include at the end of our eBook. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://www.flipsnack.com"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Flipsnack &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

This was just the start of all of the FUN and innovative ways we can use all of these wonderful tools and resources within the classroom and with our students.

Next month, at the ISTE convention in San Diego, my friend Nick Provenzano, @thenerdyteacher, and I will be presenting together at the Evernote for Schools Workshop on June 26th. This will be a fun opportunity to listen to other ideas for using Evernote and to share our ideas too.

Hey Shannon - I LOVE your use of technology in your library program. I think that I am pretty tech savvy, but I have learned that I have a ways to go :) I am hoping to have my second graders build their own biography ebook next year.I may need some tips!
